wow,yes it can be fixed,buy the time it is said and done you would be cheaper in the long run to go to the nearest yard and buy one. i think i paid 45.00 last time i needed one.

Don't forget to add in a new lock cylinder, unless the junkyard one comes with the keys. Cost is probably pretty close to the same. The time to replace just depends on skill level. I've done so many in my day that it would be pretty close to the same amount of time to swap the column or fix that damage.

very true,the new lock and key would be about 20.00 at auto zone.

just two broken parts.

This is pricey but worth it considering it may save the car. There are many versions that wrap around that part of the column that is vulnerable. This is an Epay listing.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-CARGARD-C...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item20c457f3d0

I have one of these on mine after it was stolen, recovered and the column was broken again but the ignition interupt stopped them from taking it the second time. It is pretty permanent and worked well for many years.

I have one of those also I know nothing will stop someone from trying to steal your car ,but it will slow them down.
I also have a kill switch that interrupts the HEI module so it will not start.
